Asset Protection

Keeping Valuable Assets While Gaining Freedom From Debt

One of the most common misconceptions about bankruptcy is that it only benefits those who have no other options because it requires giving up important property and assets. This is far from the truth. For a full analysis of your financial situation and assessment of whether bankruptcy is right for you, contact us now at Samuel S. Godkin & Associates.

Our attorneys have helped thousands of people gain both debt relief and asset protection through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Most people who file, if guided by an experienced lawyer, are able to keep critical assets including:

• A substantial amount of home equity
• Qualified retirement accounts including 401(k) plans and pensions
• A primary car or other vehicle
• All household and personal possessions

Applying Our Experience to Protect Your Assets and Overall Financial Interests

In certain situations, getting maximum asset protection in your bankruptcy may require waiting for the right time to file. Rather than pushing you forward, we will offer education and counsel informed by the knowledge that timing can dictate success in bankruptcy.

Sadly, many people struggle to eliminate debt by draining retirement accounts prematurely or selling off assets they do not have to sacrifice. Filing personal bankruptcy can eliminate debts, stop creditor harassment, and protect your future without requiring you to give up all you have worked hard to build.
